Did you know that from September 2009 you will be able to apply for a creative apprenticeship?
Interesting way to go about things? www.creative-choices.co.uk Creative and cultural skills have been working away on putting things together and I think the work that they are doing at a policy level is well overdue. As a creative person its difficult to get clarity in a number of areas.
Visual arts contribute £2.1 billion to the UK economy
32,160 people currently work in the visual arts industry
95% of the workforce is white
21% of the workforce are freelance,and 63% self employed.
But my favourite statistic is over 1 million people are studying a creative or cultural course in the UK. But they are competing for around 6,500 jobs a year.
Stats from www.ccskills.org.uk
Interesting, I only hope that creative people actually get involved in this more and all the innovative ideas do not get thrown out with the suits.
